Chapter 914: Blue Blood Exquisite
Chapter 914 Blue Blood Exquisite.
Jinling suddenly became more lively than ever.
The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the emperor Zhu Di, and the local officials have brought the specialties of their respective jurisdictions to pay tribute to the birthday gift, originally, the birthday gift should be very expensive, but Zhu Di is thrifty by nature, and the most hated corrupt official, if the prefect or the county takes a very valuable gift that is impossible for him to get, it will definitely be noticed by Zhu Di.
In this way, giving expensive gifts exposes themselves, so for foreign officials, they already have an unwritten rule, that is, what is offered to the emperor must be a local specialty, and it cannot be too expensive.
It's just that not all the people who come to congratulate the emperor on his birthday are local officials, some princes are also marquises from all over the country, and the gifts they give can't be too shabby.
Therefore, in these days, whether it is precious gold, silver and jewelry, or local products from all over the country, almost all of them can be seen in Jinling, a beautiful place.
The emperor's birthday, Ye Xing and others naturally want to send some gifts, but they don't have the idea of pleasing the emperor, so for them, the weight of a gift is not very important, so they chose some things in the market that are not expensive or cheap to send people to the palace, and after the eunuchs in the palace recorded them, they sent those gifts to the palace treasury, that place is where all the treasures in the palace are piled up, no matter when, there are heavy guards.
After sending the gift to the palace, Ye Xing and the others finally relaxed, so they wanted to talk to Mu Xin, although Ye Xing and others knew what Mu Xin had done to Yuan Rong, but they didn't inform the emperor of him as Mu Xin thought, Yuan Rong's death was deserved, and Ye Xing and others were not unreasonable people, and Princess Yong'an pleaded with Ye Xing, and made it clear what was at stake, if Mu Xin was told to the emperor, for the sake of national law, it would be difficult for the emperor to forgive Mu Xin, but if he did this, he would definitely be busy guarding the Mu family in Yunnan, so as a result, The stability of the Ming Dynasty will be threatened again.
This kind of thing is something that Princess Yongan doesn't want to see, and naturally it's not what Ye Xing and others want to see, Ye Xing had no choice but to give up when he saw this, but because Princess Yongan was present at that time, Ye Xing had a lot of things to say to Mu Xin, and now Ye Xing is rarely idle, but some things have to be said to Mu Xin.
The Horse Mansion was much deserted, and it was Xiao Xizi who even opened the door for Ye Xing and the others, Ye Xing saw this, and asked a little strangely: "What about the former gatekeeper?" ”
Xiao Xizi looked embarrassed and said: "King Daming doesn't know, since you came a few days ago, my family has dismissed all the people in the house, leaving only me, and now the things up and down the house have to be handled by me alone......" Xiao Xizi seemed to feel that he was wronged by saying this, so he hurriedly said: "My family is waiting in the living room, I'll take a few over!" ”
Ye Xing nodded slightly, and then followed Xiao Xizi into the living room, and after coming to the living room, he saw Mu Xin sitting in the living room, at this time Mu Xin was sitting in the living room, with a pot of wine and a wine glass on the small table next to him, he saw Ye Xing and others coming, just waved his hand and invited, and then said: "Sit!" ”
Ye Xing and the others were not polite, and sat down directly, and then Mu Xin said: "I am very grateful that King Daming didn't report me to the emperor, but I don't know why King Daming came today?" ”
Although Mu Xin's face was slightly drunk at this time, he was still very sober when he heard him speak, so after Mu Xin asked, Ye Xing smiled faintly and said, "Mu Xin dismissed the people in the house, I don't know if you want to leave here?" ”
Mu Xin was not surprised, and nodded slightly: "That's right, now in this prosperous place, there is no more nostalgia for me, and after celebrating my father's birthday the day after tomorrow, I will leave Jinling and go to Yunnan." ”
After listening to Mu Xin's words, Ye Xing nodded and said: "This decision is good for the horse, the land of Jinling, there is too much pain for you, staying here is just to increase the sadness, it is not impossible to return to Yunnan, where your Mu family has been guarding!" ”
Seeing that Ye Xing agreed to leave Jinling, Mu Xin was still a little overjoyed, after all, he was a murderer, if he stayed in Jinling, he was likely to be monitored and unable to take action, but after leaving Jinling and returning to Yunnan, even if the emperor knew that he killed Yuan Rong, I am afraid it would not be good to send someone to arrest him again.
For Mu Xin, his return to Yunnan is just an insurance practice, after all, sadness is sadness, and more people still hope to have a life.
In this way, Ye Xing and Mu Xin said some more words, and then left the Horse Mansion.
After leaving the Horse Mansion, Ye Xing and the others had nothing to do, so they decided to go to the teahouse to drink tea and take a rest.
No matter where they are, the teahouse inn is the most well-informed place, after Ye Xing and the others came to the teahouse, they heard everyone in the teahouse talking about one thing, that is, the birthday gift given by Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to the emperor.
Zhu Yong is the son of Zhu Neng, Zhu Neng is brave and good at fighting, when Zhu Di was still the king of Yan, he followed the king of Yan, and guarded the palace of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and later the battle of Jingyan broke out, Zhu Neng was repeatedly made military exploits, and was finally named the Duke of Chengguo, the hereditary duke, and Zhu Neng died on the battlefield in the fourth year of Yongle, and his son Zhu Yong inherited the title of Duke of Chengguo in the sixth year of Yongle.
Zhu Yong is also brave and good at fighting, very prestigious, and now he has sent the emperor with blue blood and exquisite pearls, after these people in the market heard about it, how could they not talk about it!
"Did you hear that, Cheng Guogong's gift for the emperor is the blue blood exquisite pearl, I heard that it was purchased by Cheng Guogong from a merchant in the Western Regions, the blue blood exquisite pearl is blood red all over the body, and it can even emit a faint red light at night, and the artistic conception is very very!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, another person continued: "Yes, I also heard about it, but because this gift is too valuable, so Cheng Guogong sent more than 100 masters to escort it, this news, or he first sent someone to fly the pigeon to send the book, if according to the itinerary, we should be able to reach our Jinling tomorrow night, and we don't know if we can see it at that time." ”
At this time, the other person smiled slightly and said: "Now that the news is so powerful, I am afraid that such a precious gift has already been targeted, and it is still a question whether it can be delivered to Jinling, I don't think everyone should be too hopeful." ”
